Did you know? A stroke can happen to anyone.
Tomorrow 29th Jan is Stroke Prevention Day.
The biggest risk factor for stroke is high blood pressure — and it causes around half of all strokes.
In the past year, 11,000 people in the North West were affected. Learn how to reduce your risk and protect yourself and others:

Supported Living services are available to help people who do not want to live in residential care but find it difficult to live at home. They're a combination of suitable accommodation – which can be your own home – with some forms of personal care (like help with washing or cooking)

We would like to know if you or someone you know identifies as an autistic adult, do you feel as though you need supported living services to live independently and safely?

If you have time, please fill out our full, anonymous survey: https://shorturl.at/N5QwD

Don’t panic if you’re told you have HPV. In many cases, HPV causes no problems and is cleared naturally by the body within 1–2 years.
Cervical screening (also called a smear test) checks for high-risk types of HPV in the cervix. If anything abnormal is found, it means you can get the right care early — helping to prevent cervical cancer.
